Originally, me and my mates would just be rapping lyrics that we knew from songs, but how I got good, I used to play XBOX 8 hours a day, iIwas an addict, Search and Destroy on Call of Duty. I would play beats and rap to strangers, for 8 hours a day – my mates would come round and be at the door like “yoooo were you rapping bro?” and I’d tell ’em it was just the tune. I was addicted to XBOX, rapping 7/8 hours a day and I’d just be freestyling.

We’ve known you for ages now as an artist, this is the first project we’ve been lucky enough to wrap our ears around – Why is that?

I don’t know. It’s just the way it is. Right timing. I’ve waited and just been developing my sound. Whenever I make music it’s with squad – but I’ve been able to make music on my own.

Why’s the tape called Umm.. Random Shit – I assume because it’s random shit… but can you tell us a bit about it?

Kian (the co-producer) asked me what we should call it, and I was like ‘I don’t know, it’s just random shit init’ and he thought that was jokes, so we went with it.

Name two rappers n two producers who you love and why?

I don’t wanna go cheesy but I rate Madlib, that’s a producer I fucking rate. He’s obscure and he doesn’t care, it’s just his expressing – he’s got knowledge for music, he DJs and he knows his shit. You can tell by what he samples.

I’m rating MIKE at the moment, a rapper called MIKE, he’s US – got a co-sign from Earl Sweatshirt – he’s been rapping for ages.

What three off licences items do you find yourself buying most often?

I always get chocolate nourishment, people call me a scumbag for it but I will defend it at all costs. Noodles, I’m always buying the one with Arabic writing on it, I used to always get pound bar chocolate, the oreo ones. Actually, not even that, Happy Shopper white chocolate bar for 49p, I actually love how shit they are.

The floor is yours – any shoutouts, monologues, recipes you wanna share, now is the time.

I’m a very confused young man, shouts out to the degenerates man, and everyone getting beaten up at the Level.
